[RFC - Python Scripting] Add 'end' attribute to gdb.Symtab_and_line

[RFC - Python Scripting] Add 'end' attribute to gdb.Symtab_and_line

[Siva Chandra]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1488 bytes --]

Hello,

Attached is a patch which adds the 'end' attribute to
gdb.Symtab_and_line.  Essentially, it exposes the 'end' field of
'struct symtab_and_line'.

Though I have named the new attribute 'end' in the attached patch, I
would like to discuss this.  There is already an attribute 'pc' which
is described as "Indicates the current program counter address" in the
documentation.  I do not think this description is accurate: 'pc' is
actually the begin address of the program counter address range for
the current source line.  To indicate the right meaning of 'pc' and
the new 'end' attribute, should they be named 'start_pc' and 'end_pc'
respectively, at least in the python API?

2012-05-21  Siva Chandra Reddy  <sivachandra@google.com>

        New attribute 'end' for gdb.Symtab_and_line.
        * NEWS (Python Scripting): Add entry about the new attribute.
        * python/py-symtab.c (salpy_get_end): New function which
        implements the get method for the 'end' attribute of
        gdb.Symtab_and_line.
        (sal_object_getset): Add entry for the 'end' attribute.

        doc/
        * gdb.texinfo (Symbol Tables In Python): Add description about
        the new 'end' attribute of gdb.Symtab_and line.

        testsuite/
        * gdb.python/py-symtab.exp: Add tests to test the new
attribute
        'end' of gdb.Symtab_and_line.
        * gdb.python/py-symbol.c: Move break point comment to enable
        testing of gdb.Symtab_and_line.end.

Thanks,
Siva Chandra

Thanks.  The documentation parts of your patch are fine with me.

Re: [RFC - Python Scripting] Add 'end' attribute to gdb.Symtab_and_line

[Siva Chandra]

I ping again.
Is it a good idea to expose the 'end' attribute in the Python API at all?

Hi.
Yeah, "end" would kinda be consistent and is yet a bit too vague.

Let's go with "end_pc" and at least leave "pc" alone for now.

One question we need to answer is what behaviour to expose in the API.
Is the range [pc,end_pc] or [pc,end_pc)?
[I know what the internal code does, but we don't have to follow it if
it makes for a sufficiently better API.]
And we need to clearly document this behaviour.

I don't have a strong preference on which one to use.
[One recognizes that [pc,end_pc] doesn't have a problem at 0xff...ff,
but I'm not sure it matters in practice.]

Done.

I have changed the behavior to [pc, end_pc] as this (at least the
name) feels more meaningful to me. But, why was right open behavior
chosen for internal code? Even the two-argument flavor of the
'disassemble' command has right open behavior.

> And we need to clearly document this behaviour.

I have described it in the documentation as "the end address of the
program counter address range for the current source line".

Perhaps this minor rewording is better:

  gdb.Symtab_and_line has a new attribute 'end_pc' which holds the end
  of the address range occupied by code for the current source line.

Can you reword this so as not to use "address" twice in the same
sentence, like I did for NEWS?

Thanks.

Actually, I would like to take this back. I think, wrt 'disassemble'
command, it is essentially disassembling all instructions which fully
fall in the range provided as argument. Wrt symtab_and_line.end, if we
were to expose it as end_pc in the Python API, then I think it should
correspond to the PC value for the last instruction of that line of
source and not the last address in the range. And, if that were to be
the case, I do not think it is very practical as it does not indicate
where the next instruction starts. With the other choice, where in
end_pc indicates the last address in the range, the name end_pc
becomes a misnomer.

From my personal point of view, I see two options:

1. Call this new attribute 'last' and let it indicate the last address
in the range.
   or
2. Call this new attribute 'next_start' and let it indicate the start
PC of the next instruction after the last instruction of the current
source line.

Either of the above is good enough for the use case I have in mind.

Thanks,
Siva Chandra

I like "last".
So the range would be [pc,last]  ?

Yes. The only reason I do not want to call it 'end' is to avoid
confusion with the internal 'end' which has a different behavior.

2012-06-13  Siva Chandra Reddy  <sivachandra@google.com>

        New attribute 'last' for gdb.Symtab_and_line.

It seems that sal->end can be == 0.
For example I think gdb.decode_line can create sals like this.
In this case I think "- 1" will yield weird results.
Perhaps a None return would be better?
